Operators First. Advisors Second.
Surge North Consulting is a fractional COO and fractional executive consulting firm built for leaders who need more than a recommendation — they need someone willing to help run the business toward it. We've sat in the operating seat ourselves, at startups finding their footing and at established companies working through a hard, regulated, or fast-moving stretch. That's the perspective we bring to every engagement, whether we're embedded with your team week over week or delivering a defined project against a defined outcome.
We work across business stages on purpose. A first-time founder, a small business owner, a rapid-growth leadership team, and a board in a highly regulated industry are all solving different problems — but each needs an operating partner who can move at the speed the moment requires, then step back once the business can hold its own course.
-
We show up in your leadership meetings and your operating rhythm, not just a slide deck at the end.
-
Startup, small business, rapid-growth or highly regulated - the engagement is shaped around where yur business actually is.
-
Our job is well done when your team can repeat the processes and achieve the results you want.
End-to-End Solutions for Your Goal.

I was deep in fundraising for my startup and I needed someone to keep the operations running smoothly. Kathy streamlined everything from team accountability to financial reporting so I could confidently present to investors. We closed our round successfully and I couldn't have done it without her.

We were growing fast but kept stalling out. Engaging a fractional COO helped us to implement the right systems and helped us finally make data-driven decisions. I was able to step out of the weeds and return to strategy leading to double digit growth in the next year.

We brought in a fractinal COO to lead a turnaround for a declining region. Their strategic oversight, culture transformation, and metric driven leadership put us back on track.

Why “Surge North”
A surge is the moment a business either gets swamped or gets carried forward — the funding round that lands, the growth curve that bends up faster than the org chart can follow, the regulatory deadline that lands on everyone at once. Every founder and executive we work with knows that moment. It's usually why they call us.
North is the fixed point. Long before instruments, navigators crossing open, changing water held their course by keeping one reference constant: true north. It didn't move the ship for them — it kept them oriented while they did the moving themselves.
That's the role we try to play. We don't take the wheel from founders, operators, or boards. We come aboard as fractional executives or project partners, help the business ride the surge instead of getting swamped by it, and keep the team pointed at true north until they're ready to hold that course.
